#canon 30D

I did someresearch and didn’t find any­thing too neg­a­tive towards get­ting this Phot­tix BP-40D vs a Canon BG-E2/BG-E2N as a grip for my 30D oth­er than the make. The pro-point is that its only $75 shipped from Hong Kong to San Fran­cis­co. It has the same fea­tures as its Canon coun­ter­part but for less. Here are some points from the eBay sell­er, ete­fore (aka. HK Sup­plies), of whom I got it from:

As I was doing my late-night news roundup, I stum­bled upon some inter­est­ing new Web 2.0 apps. The top two that are on my list to beta-test are Fold­era and Fly­spy. I can’t wait to see how Fold­era works, it seems that it’ll be use­ful at work and at home. As for Fly­spy, this thing should make it eas­i­er for those of us “remote­ly” work­ing from home. I hope it saves me a ton of cash so I may have some left for some oth­er good­ies lat­er this year. Not to men­tion, a cou­ple of expens­es dur­ing my big trips (Hawaii, Japan and P.I.).
